2. Variable-frequency drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive

   Small variable-frequency drive Chassis of above VFD (cover removed). A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro drive, inverter drive, variable voltage variable frequency drive, or drive) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the ...

3. Vector control (motor) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_control_(motor)

   In vector control, an AC induction or synchronous motor is controlled under all operating conditions like a separately excited DC motor. [21] That is, the AC motor behaves like a DC motor in which the field flux linkage and armature flux linkage created by the respective field and armature (or torque component) currents are orthogonally aligned such that, when torque is controlled, the field ...

   For the same application, the program would select a 125 kW gen-set when using a variable frequency drive and a primary reactor bypass with a 30% starting voltage drop, cutting the gen-set in half (Slides 36–39). [5] Energy Savings – "Most motors turn at nearly constant speed. However, much of the time the devices they drive operate at less ...

5. Motor drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_drive

   A variable frequency drive (VFD) or variable speed drive (VSD) describes the electronic portion of the system that controls the speed of the motor. More generally, the term drive, describes equipment used to control the speed of machinery. Many industrial processes such as assembly lines must operate at different speeds for different products.

6. Insulated-gate bipolar transistor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated-gate_bipolar...

   It is used in switching power supplies in high-power applications: variable-frequency drives (VFDs) for motor control in electric cars, trains, variable-speed refrigerators, and air conditioners, as well as lamp ballasts, arc-welding machines, photovoltaic and hybrid inverters, uninterruptible power supply systems (UPS), and induction stoves.

7. Frequency changer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_changer

   A variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a type of frequency changer used for speed control of AC motors such as used for pumps and fans. The speed of a synchronous or induction AC motor is dependent on the frequency of the AC power supply, so changing frequency allows the motor speed to be changed.
